Is it true that being in high school for a long time can actually look good to colleges and employers because it shows that you didn’t give?

Question

Up on something difficult

Answer 1

Along time, being what? And not particularly, unless it’s about a year and you have a compelling reason.

Answer 2

if they are looking for somebody who's really dumb it could look great

Answer 3

No, I don't know where you heard that information, but it's not true at all. Employers don't care about how many years you've spent in your education, all they ever care about is whether or not you've got the degree or not. It doesn't matter if it's high school diploma or a college degree. You have to finish it and finish the entire program. Never do things and stop half-way, you need to complete it without flaws. If you've already got over high school, then I suggest you to go to college in order to get a higher degree. Employers are greedy, they only want the best people to work for them. If you have job experiences, then that's a plus.

Answer 4

no. employers rarely look at your educational qualifications after your fist job. get your diploma, degree fast and move on

Answer 5

Employers, probably not. They would only note your graduation.

For a college application, the situation might make a good personal statement, or essay. That would be if there was some true obstacle to overcome.

Answer 6

Unless you had an illness or trauma to prevent you from graduating on time, I don’t see how this is a positive.

Answer 7

That may happen, but most would not see it as a good sign of competence and intelligence.

Answer 8

Lol no because high school isn't difficult

Answer 9

They don't know how long you've been in high school. They only see the year you've graduated.

Answer 10

no it does not. they don't ask when you got to school and when you left school. they only want to know what you got for grades and what activities you might have excelled at. No employer will care how long you spent in high school either. Employers only want to know if you will work out for them.

Answer 11

Not true .
